12.13.1 Command line tools

Microsoft Windows provides three command line tools that are helpful when
troubleshooting network communication problems. The use of these tools may be
required during the procedures described in "Network troubleshooting", page 151.

Command line tools:

Netstat

Ping

Ipconfig

Netstat

Netstat can be used to show the IP addresses and ports that are currently open.

To use Netstat:

Open a command line program.

Enter "netstat.exe –noa" into the command line.

Press «Enter» on the keyboard.

The IP address, UDP ports, and process ID are displayed.

Ping

Ping can be used to test network connectivity between the workstation and an MSE
1000 module.

Open a command line program.

Enter "ping [ip_address]" into the command line. [ip_address] is the IP address of
the module to ping.

Press «Enter» on the keyboard.

If the ping is successful, a reply will be shown from the requested IP with the size
of the packet sent and the time it took to get the response.

If the ping is not successful, the reply "Destination host unreachable" or
"Destination net unreachable" will be displayed.
